Sublime Merge Constant freezing in WSL (g)

#1

Does anyone know of any workarounds for Sublime Merge constantly freezing when running in WSLg? It it freezes (becomes unresponsive) every time my laptop wakes from sleep. https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_merge/issues/1922

It also sometimes freezes for no apparent reason.

Windows 11 latest updates, Ubuntu 24 LTS.

I have written this script to restart it, but it usually stops working after a couple restarts (either the frozen window won’t go away, or a new one won’t open, or when it opens I cannot interact with it):

killall sublime_merge && sleep 2
/opt/sublime_merge/sublime_merge > /tmp/sublimemerge.out 2>&1 &

I don’t like WSL at all, but I am currently required to use it and I like Sublime Merge very much and have built up a lot of muscle memory around it.
